Tips for Great Results
- UGC should look authentic — overly produced UGC defeats the purpose
- Brief creators with your key messages but let them use their own voice and style
- Mix UGC with your polished brand ads — the contrast makes both more effective
- Micro-influencers (5K-50K followers) often produce the most authentic UGC
- Always secure usage rights in writing before running UGC as paid ads
